Auguste Clape

Discount Eligible $245.00

This is it, the culmination of three generations of dedication and devotion, and the final vintage that Pierre-Marie and Olivier saw through together, from the harvest through the blending before the bottling last year. Chapeau bas, famille Clape!

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
